Mailman version 2.1.8
I administer mailman on a few domains, and on one I receive a lot of
spam seemingly sent to the mailman@ list. I can work on my spam
filters, but I'm trying to understand the path the mail is taking
through mailman.
The mailman@ list has only me as the admin and NO members.
I have just a handful of lists on this machine: users@, dev@, svn@,
etc.
When mail is sent to mailman@ I get a message with the following
headers:
Return-path: mailman-bounces@
Envelope-to:…
[View More] <my email address>
X-Original-To: mailman@
Delivered-To: users-owner@
The body of the message is simply the sender's body only -- it's not a
mailman-generated message (e.g. approval message).
In my sender filters I have:
generic_nonmember_action: hold
My question is why is mail to mailmain@ seemingly getting delivered to
users-owner@?
Another thing I'm finding curious: I have RFC2369 headers enabled on
all lists (including the "mailman" site list). And indeed messages on
the other (e.g. users@) lists include these headers. But mail sent to
mailman@ does not include these headers. Why is that? Because
List-Post, List-Subscribe, etc. have no uses for the mailman list?

Hi,
I have a Virtual private server (Fedora, 256 RAM, 10 GB HDD). I'm hosting an announcement list of about 15,000 addresses. I noticed that each time I post a message to the list, the free disk space (command: df -h) is decreasing even after mailman finishes delivering all the messages. I had to reprovision the server and format the hard drive twice and restore my data when the disk is full!
is there a kind of temporary files that mailman doesn't cleanup? what can I do?
Thanks

As a follow-up, I don't seem to have the virtual-mailman file on my
server anywhere as stated in the documentation....

Subject: Mailman on multiple domains
I have Postfix and Mailman running on a RHLE server. Mailman and
Postfix work fine for a single domain setup.
I have now setup my postfix configuration setup to accept mail for
multiple domains. I did so …
[View More]editing main.cf to include the new domain I
want to receive mail for, created a local user account for the user, and
created a virtual_alias_maps file which tells the email to the second
domain to forward to the new user account I setup.
So I have mailman running on a new VirtualHost, I can create a list from
the web interface, I can join lists and all emails from the system look
ok (having the second domain name). When posting, I get the following:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

This must have something to do with my virtual_alias_maps file, which
currently has nothing in it except a map from the second domain to a
local user (which I just did as a test). I'm sure I'm missing something
here?
Thanks
